Want Firfox to ctrl+n to open with the current page.

When opening a new tab with ctrl+n older versions gave a choice as to what page was loaded. I think the options were: 1) blank page (as current Firefox does), 2) home page, and (3) current page. The current page option is the one I want, but can not find a setting for.
It is very useful when you want to follow a link on your current page, but retain the "back" function on the original tab.

Why won't my old Pages docs open with the old Pages application?

I have a whole suite of complex documents created with the old Pages - which will not open with the old Pages application. Why not? The new app appears not to have things I need - like autoflow to complex linked boxes for example, or easy kerning.
Is there a workaround to so that I can access my documents without having to redo them? I don't want to use the new app. It's hideous, lumpen and unsophisticated. Why has a decent product been replaced with crap?

Can you clarify that?
What version is "the old Pages"?
What version of OSX?
What happens when you try and open an old document with the "old Pages"?
Are you really saying that Pages '08/'09 won't open Pages 5 documents?
Because that is not a surprise, you need to Export the newer version documents back.

Why does safari 5.1 open with the last page from previous session?

I don't want Safari 5.1 to open with the last page from the previous session. How do I stop it?

I too would like to manually or automatically open the windows and tabs I had open from the previous session, but I want to configure this per application. In a browser for instance, I can have many windows and tabs open and it can take a lot of time to refresh them all. I would like to manually pick the windows/tabs I want to reopen. Before Lion I could restore the last session manually and I liked that ability. Firefox has a plugin for this And what if I reboot with no internet access, they all time out. With a word processor, spreadsheet, or xcode on the other hand, I like to start where I left off. Everything comes from local disk so the restart is fast. I want to control this by app, not globally. Sometime Apple can really be blind to the real needs of users, and that is to configure their envoronment the way the user needs, not the way Apple envisions the need of users.
So Apple, please give ME the opportunity to choose the apps that auto reload the last sesion and give me a manual way to reload the last session on all apps that qualify.

Can I prevent my book opening with the contents page?

After the intro video I would like my book to open with the first page full screen, not with the contents. Is this possible?
Thanks

I have noticed that most of the books I've bought on the ibook store start on the first page rather than the contents, what program are they built with?
You can create a standard epub with many programs. InDesign is probably the most popular, but you can also use Pages. Apple even makes a template available:

HT5037 when I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... what should i do now?

When I click on iPhoto(9.5.1) i get "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared." but i downloaded the up-grader, used it and it tells me the library can open with the current version... Then when I click on the iphoto again i get the same message "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared."'
What should I do?

The upgraded is only necessary for libraries created with iPhoto '07 or eearlier. Just double click the library to open it in iPhoto, and let it upgrade, if it has been created by a newr version.

When I want to go back a page the drop down box is filled with the current page, all earlier sites have disappered out of sight

When I have been at a site for a while and decide to go back, when I use the drop down box it has filled with the current page location. The longer I am there the more times it repeats its self.

Did you try Safe Mode?
An extension may be responsible for adding up those entries of the same page.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I click a link and it opens on the current page and a new tab, how do i keep the first tab on the current page and only have the link clicked on appear in the new tab?

I go to click a link for any site and it opens the link in the current page and a new tab. I only want it to open the link in the new tab. I want to keep the original tab what it was.

you can try to write some web driver to do this particular job for you, one such driver is Selenium. know more about it at https://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list.
But this thing will need a good programming skill. Otherwise you have Adblock plus addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/), you can try this. you can also contact its developer to include this particular facility also in this add on

Why does Safari open with the last page viewed from the previous session rather than my homepage?

The only way I can get Safari to open to my homepage when starting a new session is to be sure to close all windows from the previous session before quitting Safari. If I don't go through this process, Safari opens to the last site I accessed before quitting. What am I missing?

I am having the same problem but in Mountain Lion the "System Preferences -> General -> Number of recent items -> UNTICK "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." option is not available. The only thing now is "Close windows when quitting an application." which I have ticked. Under recent items there is only a list of numbers.
This seems strange to me. Any ideas?
Thank you.

IE 8 causes some windows to open behind the current page

Boy, this is a weird one!
We have just upgraded a few of our machines to Internet Explorer 8 (from 7) and our intranet site - whihc works perfectly on 7 - has developed a few "oddities."
When the user clicks a link that opens a document, the document appears in the foregound - that is, in front of the page where the user clicked the link. This is a good thing.
However, when the user clicks a link that opens Window Explorer to display a directory's contents, it opens behind the page where the user clicked the link. If the browser is full screen, the only clue the user has that the link opened is the task bar. As you can imagine, how many times do users actually look at the task bar? Instead, they assume the link is broken and call for support.
In IE7, both types of links opened in the foreground, and that is what we want to continue happening. And no, changing to a different browser isn't the answer. We are stuck with IE8.
The links are coded like this:
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\" target="_blank">See the Folder</a>
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\Document.pdf" target="_blank">See the Document</a>
Our operating system is XP Professional. We have not installed any add-ons for IE8. We haven't been able to determine if the problem is IE8, Win XP, or out ColdFusion code.
Please help!

One thing it is definitely not, is CF. This is browser behaviour, a CF doesn't run on the client machine.
This can be demonstrated easily:
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\" target="_blank">See the Folder</a>
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\Document.pdf" target="_blank">See the Document</a>
Save this as an HTML file (like: with an HTML extension), and browse to it, and click the links. You will probably see the same behaviour with the HTML file as you do with a file processed by CF.

Safari new windows open under the current page

I like to command click for a new window and recently Safari started opening new pages that I command click UNDER the front main window. The preferences say it should be on top but it does not open that way. Any ideas how to get this opening correctly again?
Thanx In Advance!!!

I don't want a new browser window I want a new window when I open a link as per the preferences it says it will then become the active window

Firefox always opens with the last page from previous session. Setting this right (e.g. changing this to start up with blank or startup page) in Options/General, doesn't work.

Screenshot of the options panel (that doesn't work):

All these "solutions" that have been offered to go to your settings and set your option to go to home page are 1.) not working and 2.) kind of a"duh". How many of us do you think have been set up like that for a few years now? And yet all of a sudden (i.e. new version of Firefox that apparently needs a little more testing...), this problem is occurring. It's getting really annoying too. We have defined home pages for a reason. Please correct this so we can return to them when we log in.

How do I stop Firefox from opening with the last site I was on when I closed instead of using my home page?

whenever I open firefox after closing it down, it always opens with the last page I was on. I have the settings to point to a specific homepage and have it set to always open on the homepage, but it doesn't.

I am having a similar problem, I'm using "Show my home page" on start-up but firefox decides to always open to the last page visited regardless. I also generally close Firefox using the red X or with alt+f4. This problem is especially annoying when the last page 'visited' is an annoying pop-up ad that wasn't been caught by the pop-up blocker.

Firefox opens with last page viewed, even though I have open with my home page checked

I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
Thank you.

hello, please refer to [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]] in order to switch the feature off.

Firefox always opens with the "search" tab even though I don't want it. How do I stop this?

When I open Firefox, it opens normally to my home page. But it also opens with the "search" tab, though I don't want it. How do I prevent this?

From the search page offered go to your chosen home page. Now move the mouse to the top left and scan the options for view, Toolbars and make sure that the "Menu bar" is ticked. This will show the File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks and tools options plus Help. Click on tools, then Options and select current page as your home page. All should now be sorted.

Want Firfox to ctrl+n to open with the current page.
